Re: [nfsv4] re: ACL and Posix Mode bit interaction

[Jim Rees <rees at umich.edu>]

  - How a server uses Mode and ACL for permission checking?
    - If there is an ACL for the file
  	- use the ACL and ignore the Mode bits
      else /* empty ACL, as above */
  	- use the Mode bits

The Apollo file system tried to keep mode bits and acl in sync, and it was
horribly confusing.  Afs ignores the mode bits and just uses the acl, and it
works much better, in my opinion.  So I agree with Rick on this one.
